SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:6

Y como le vieron los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los servidores, dieron voces diciendo: Cu�lguenle de un madero, cu�lguenle de un madero. Les dice Pilato: Tomadle vosotros, y colgadle del madero; porque yo no hallo en �l crimen.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 19:6

Verse 6. Crucify HIM] auton, which is necessary to the text, and which is wanting in the common editions, and is supplied by our version in Italics, is added here on the authority of almost every MS. and version of importance. As it is omitted in the common editions, it affords another proof, that they were not taken from the best MSS.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 6. When the chief priests therefore, and officers, saw him , etc.] In this piteous condition, in his mock dress, and having on him all the marks of cruel usage, enough to have moved an heart of stone: and though they were the principal men of the priesthood, and who made great pretensions to religion and piety, and the officers were their servants and attendants, and all of them used to sacred employments; which might have been thought would have at least influenced them to the exercise of humanity and compassion to fellow creatures; yet instead of being affected with this sight, and wrought upon by it, to have agreed to his release, as Pilate hoped, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, Crucify him ; which was done in a very noisy and clamorous way; and the repetition of their request shows their malignity, vehemence, and impatience; and remarkable it is, that they should call for, and desire that kind of death the Scriptures had pointed out, that the Messiah should die, and which was predicted by Christ himself. Pilate saith unto them, take ye him, and crucify him, for I find no fault in him . This was not leave to do it, as appears from the reason he gives, in which the innocence of Christ is again asserted; nor did the Jews take it in this light, as is evident from their reply; and it is clear, that after this Pilate thought he had a power either to release or crucify him; and he did afterwards seek to release him; and the Jews made a fresh request to crucify him; upon which he was delivered to be crucified: but this was said in a way of indignation, and as abhorring the action; and is an ironical concession, and a bitter sarcasm upon them, that men that professed so much religion and sanctity, could be guilty of such iniquity, as to desire the death of one that no fault could be found in; and therefore, if such were their consciences, for his part, he desired to have no concern in so unrighteous an action; but if they would, they must even do it themselves.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-18 - Little did Pilate think with what holy regard these sufferings of Christ would, in after-ages, be thought upon and spoken of by the bes and greatest of men. Our Lord Jesus came forth, willing to be expose to their scorn. It is good for every one with faith, to behold Chris Jesus in his sufferings. Behold him, and love him; be still lookin unto Jesus. Did their hatred sharpen their endeavours against him? an shall not our love for him quicken our endeavours for him and his kingdom? Pilate seems to have thought that Jesus might be some perso above the common order. Even natural conscience makes men afraid of being found fighting against God. As our Lord suffered for the sin both of Jews and Gentiles, it was a special part of the counsel of Divine Wisdom, that the Jews should first purpose his death, and the Gentiles carry that purpose into effect. Had not Christ been thu rejected of men, we had been for ever rejected of God. Now was the So of man delivered into the hands of wicked and unreasonable men. He wa led forth for us, that we might escape. He was nailed to the cross, a a Sacrifice bound to the altar. The Scripture was fulfilled; he did no die at the altar among the sacrifices, but among criminals sacrifice to public justice. And now let us pause, and with faith look upo Jesus. Was ever sorrow like unto his sorrow? See him bleeding, see his dying, see him and love him! love him, and live to him!
